mbCONNECT24: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

mbCONNECT24 is MB connect line's Remote Service Portal for secure remote maintenance of machines and plants. Besides VPN-based remote access it offers data monitoring, central alarm and asset management, web-based visualisation and IIoT functions. It is aimed at machine builders, service providers and operators of industrial plants and works with the company's mbNET routers; the vendor also mentions compatibility with third-party hardware. There are three delivery forms: the public portal as a web service run by MB connect line, mymbCONNECT24.virtual as a private portal in the customer's own server environment (VMware), and mymbCONNECT24.hosted, a dedicated portal that MB connect line operates in its data centre.

MB connect line GmbH is headquartered in Dinkelsbühl, Germany; the pages consulted show no foreign parent company. The EU portal instance is the default, and separate instances exist for the US, Asia and Australia, so the chosen instance determines where connection and device data are handled. The pages consulted do not name the hosting location of the EU instance.

Why digital sovereignty matters with mbCONNECT24

mbCONNECT24 is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so mbCONNECT24 scores best on data residency.

mbCONNECT24 is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs mbCONNECT24 together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
